Customising the AVI layout

The ‘avi’ Layout Designer is accessible from the ‘AVI’ tab of the Record .AVI track properties dialog box and enables you to organise the look of the recorded avi. Here you can change, resize and reposition the model view, caption, clock and logo.

To customise the AVI layout:

  1. On the ‘AVI’ tab of the ‘Record .AVI Track Properties’ dialog, click the Layout button. The Layout Designer is displayed and already contains a view of your model, the LEGION logo and a clock.
  2. To add any of the customizable items in the ‘Avi components’ toolbar, click and hold the relevant icon and drag into the Layout Designer. Position and resize the items according to preference.
  3. To change the properties of a label, clock or logo, click on the item to select it and change the properties in the left-hand panel of the dialog box. Change properties in the ‘Value’ column by entering text directly, browsing for files or selecting values from drop-down lists.
    • Caption
    • Clock – change time format; font; text colour, contour line values and background colours.
    • Logo – browse to select an alternative logo image; change logo colour, contour line values, background colour and transparency.
    • Legend
      • Legend – depending on which maps were selected for this event, and how many legends they have, you can choose 'All' or specific legends from this drop-down list.
      • Title – enter a 'Title'; choose 'Text Colour' and 'Font'
      • Units – enter 'Units'; choose 'Text Colour' and 'Font'
      • Labels – choose 'Text Colour' and 'Font'
      • Contour – select 'yes' or 'no' to show or hide contour lines; choose 'Contour Line Colour'
      • Background – choose a 'Background' colour and add a value for 'Background transparency' (0 is opaque)
    • Graph - select a graph from the drop-down list labelled 'Value' in the 'Graph name' row.
  4. To change the background colour of the ‘avi’, select a colour from the drop-down palette labelled Background Colour.
  5. You can also align the ‘avi’ components in relation to each other; see Aligning AVI components for details.
  6. If you want to delete a removable item, click to select it and press Delete.
  7. Click OK to save your layout settings.
